Sore Scalp

So my scalp is HURTING!!! My scalp has been giving me a quite a bit of pain in the crown area. So I went on a search and asked my mom what should I use to remedy my sore scalp, she said that perhaps oil would work. So I decided to try olive oil and I also heard milk would work so I will give that a shot.

Now on to my product review. I used the Shea Moisture Repair and Transition kit. It was ok...not great but ok. My hair was dry and I know I have between a 4A and 4C in some places so I will keep using it but I probably not purchase it again. I think I will put the olive oil on my scalp and sleep overnight. I will report back later to tell you all how it turned out. I hope it works because I can't live like this :(

Back in the saddle...

Well I went from combing out my locks to wearing my hair natural to perming my hair to finally chopping it all off to begin the process all over again. I mean seriously the products out there when I started were almost non existent...now they are every where!! So I am going to try them until I find the ones that work for me.

Products...
I started with Talia Waajid Kinky herbal comb out. I love this product on my daughters hair but it does nothing for my hair in its current state.

So I bought the Shea Moisture Repair and Transition Kit. I will report back on this product...I have seen a lot of good reviews for this one. 

All in all I am back in the saddle...sad to say I am not excited about starting over but I know my hair will be longer by the end of the year. I will post pictures soon.

Big Hair

So this is my hair at 10 months! Yeah it is grooooowwwwwinnnng!!! I am at that stage where I can't do anything with my hair but it is beautiful! I love the full look of my hair and the wild but tame look. I could probably do some up dos but it takes too much pulling on my hair and I gave it up. Anyway I am still holding on!

Rolling Rolling Rolling

It has been 9 months since I became locked and have been through some good and bad times with my  hair. I realized that if I don't curl my hair it will look unkempt and the glorious part about sister locs is that it looks even better with curls. So I do my bantu knots and curl my hair over night...I am too scared to go out in public with the knots but I think they look really pretty!  So my hair is slowly touching the back of my neck and coming down past my ear! I am enjoying having these locks and I think I will keep my hair for years to come.

Whew...things are hairy

So my hair is looking extremely dry these days! I have no clue how to keep moisturized with out adding too much oil and with out washing it. Other than that I need to take my 6 month picture so that you all can see how much my hair has grown. My hair has going through the shrinkage stage so it looks shorter than it actually is. I am really in that stage where I am disliking the styling of my hair. I can't do much with my hair at this moment but perhaps I can look around and see what I can do. Anyway....times are interesting!

Doing it on my own

So unfortunately I have been sick with the shingles and I do not want to infect my consultants children with chicken pox. So whats a girl to do? Well the obvious I have to re-tighten my own hair. I have already done the top portion of my hair but I have yet to do the back part. It took me about 4 hours to do the top so that means about 8 to do the back because I cant see back there and ti takes me twice as long to lock my hair. My roommate said that she will do it for me if I teach her which sounds like a great deal...we shall see. Lord please dont let me mess this up!
